Weekend Wine Tasting @ the North End Boise Co-op Wine Shop

Sunday, April 22 is Earth Day, so we're featuring selections from a winery that takes sustainability and environmental consciousness to a new level. ChateauMaris is creating something of a revolution in the typically conservative Languedoc region of France. English ex-pat Bernie Eden has led the charge toward organic and biodynamic farming. The winery, constructed of hemp blocks, is beyond green, requiring no heating or cooling. But none of that would matter if the wines didn’t measure up. They do. Here's what we'll be pouring:

Maris Blanc

Maris Rosé

Maris Rosé de Nymphe Emue

Maris Minervois Rouge

Natural Selection Syrah Grenache

Le Carignan de Maris

Chateau Maris La Touge

And to mark earth week, we're sweetening the deal. You'll save 15% off the regular price on all seven wines from April 18 to April 24. It's your chance to try before you buy.
